A short film produced by filmmaker Andrew Ferguson as part of Celebrate Ageing’ s Letters of Love and Dementia Campaign
Copyright: Australian Journal of Dementia Care Vol 6 No 1 February/March 2017.

The 17-minute film shows Anne Tudor and her partner Edie Mayhew, who is living with younger onset dementia, opening and reading letters they wrote to each other every day for a week.
The film was part of a series documenting Edie’s journey with dementia. It invited family members and friends of people with dementia, and service providers to join the campaign by writing a letter to someone with dementia as a way of acknowledging the human experience of dementia. The letters were then shared on the project webpage.
Dementia Training Australia has launched a free online training course for aged care staff who care for people with dementia overnight.
The CAUSEd problem-solving tool assists carers to understand and respond when people with dementia are communicating their unmet needs through their behaviour.
